As the morning rays of the sun glorify the historical
Buxa Fort, we trek more north towards Khataline. The winding hilly path past
the small hamlet is quiet tough. A halt here and there suddenly makes the bird
lover sight his choices. The consecutive twists and turns takes one to his
utter surprise...to a vast openness... to a plateau atop the hillock!

Lapchakha is a photographer's delight, a paradise for
a lover of nature, a bird watcher's treasure and a trekker's joy.

How to go: One has to reach
New Alipurduar or Alipurduar Junction by train from Kolkata/ Bombay/ Delhi. One
can go from Alipurduar to Santrabari by any conveyance and then trek onwards to
Lapchakha via Buxa. Lapchakha is 30 minutes trek from Buxa fort.
